Zipang

In the year 200X, a Japanese fleet consisting of 3 vessels leave on a mission to South America. After encountering a storm, the ship JDS Mirai find itself without its escorts and in the year 1942, traveling towards the island of Midway to face the American fleet in one of largest battles in naval history. The crew of the Mirai must decide whether or not to change the course of history by involving itself in WWII.

Yeah, what's with the poses? They don't look epic enough to justify a dedicated page. That's minus to me. Considering there are worse manga that dedicate themselves to setting up fanservice (Can't mangakas understand that if you see too much too often, you get used to it?), I'll still follow this.

Correction to chapter 33: It was not the "USS Canbera, Quincy and Vincennes", but rather the "HMAS Canberra, USS Quincy and Vincennes". The forces were mixed American and Australian. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Savo_Island for the historical details.

@rockgollem Doesn't bother me at all, because in the end who got their cities firebombed? Who had Enola Gay do a fly-by over their country? Japan can spawn as many revisionist and apologist historians they want, but their big, bad red neighbor isn't going to forget any time soon.

I find this manga quite offensive in content. It's another right-wing Japanese justification of war and attrocities it commited. How would you feel if there was a manga about how they go back to Nazi Germany in time and do bunch of stuff and a character spouts that they would have done the right thing and everything they did wrong would be justified if they simply didn't invade Soviet Union and focused on Britain and kept that whole part of the world?

There was an American movie "Final Countdown", about modern aircraft carrier being brought back in time to a day of japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. I remember a nice scene of skirmish between two Tomcats and two Zeros. The movie is old but still a nice watch

I suddenly remember a movie I saw when I was a kid, Jebus, how memory works ! O_o

In that movie, a group of armed american men disappear from the Vietnam war to find themselves plunged in an Asian war taking place centuries ago (I don't remember which one).
Try try to use their superior weaponry to instigate a status quo and end the killing, and of course, they become everybody's target and, naive, unable to kill armed women and children or to conclude "fuck it all", overriden with numbers, they die a dog's death.

I'm afraid Zipang will end the same way, that would be saddening, but I don't see many other options
